Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

This article describes a circuit and procedure which can be used for injecting jitter on electrical circuits. Jitter can be described as a random variation or instability in the time of occurrence of transitions on a waveform. Since clocks serve as the fundamental reference point for many logic circuits, it is important for the clock signal to be very stable. Jitter is one way of characterizing this stability. In many logic circuit applications, the clock is generated externally and supplied as an input. The test technique described here gives a method for characterizing the sensitivity of the logic to the clock input.

Jitter Testing of Electronic Circuits

This article
describes a circuit and procedure which can
be used for injecting jitter on electrical circuits. Jitter can be
described as a random variation or instability in the time of
occurrence of transitions on a waveform.
Since clocks serve as the
fundamental reference point for many logic circuits, it is important
for the clock signal to be very stable.
Jitter is one way of
characterizing this stability. In many
logic circuit applications,
the clock is generated externally and supplied as an input. The test
technique described here gives a method for characterizing the
sensitivity of the logic to the clock input.

Phase-locked
loop (PLL) circuits are particularly sensitive to
jitter. These circuits are commonly used
in communications.
THEORY OF OPERATION

A common
application for a comparator circuit is for the
purpose of "squaring up" distorted signals. There are two inputs,
one is the waveform as it is received and the second is a reference
voltage. The output of this circuit will
be a "high" level if the
input waveform is greater than the voltage reference, and at a "low"
level when the input waveform is less than the reference level.
Thus, the output switches levels only when the waveform crosses
through the reference voltage level.

Consider the
effect of changing the reference voltage to some
higher value, but still below the maximum amplitude of the input
signal. T...
